Hey all... so it looks like we may actually have some bimmers coming tonight to Kingstowne. It looked like it was going to rain, but now it seems we are good to go. Remind me to apply for a job as a weatherman... you never have to be accurate.

I actually started a meetup group for car tuners in our area, already has about 10 members, only one bmw (M6), but some of them are interested in coming out as well so we can introduce ourselves.

Im down with meeting up before in the Toys R Us parking lot as we talked about before. How does 8-8:30 sound?

Once ATR comes out I will probably be offering help to people (street/dyno/etuning) so for the locals that will be a nice alternative to 500$ tunes from shops. Couple people in this thread know my "history" but needless to say I've tuned 100+ cars on multiple platforms including a number of n54's with companies using opensource tuning (full access not just scalars like jb4/procede has for "end user tuning").

Calling all the members wannabe piggyback plug and play rookies just didnt sound right.

I wasn't being serious lol...I've run all of the tunes to make sure I knew what they were doing so I could choose what I liked and didn't like. I've met a handful of the locals and am yet to meet one I didn't get along with. Everyone seems to be good people which is why I offer my time to help others out and avoid the rediculous fees of dyno tuning from shops.

I wasn't able to make it out last night as I got a call that I had a 0700 patient to see this morning and since I live in Alexandria and work in Bethesda at NNMC that means a VERY early morning to be in the office by 0630 to prep for the patient. But - I will do my best to make the next meetup I only wish I still had my project cars as I don't have any big plans for the n54 except FBO w/ meth tuned by me with ATR. I miss having a fast car but just can't justify the time and money to build another one right now.
